Is there anyone in the east Phoenix area that is willing to earn some bucks by giving me a personal tutorial on how to change, tighten, and generally use the Shopsmith Mark 7? Video tutorials are great, but I'm wasting a lot of time by not knowing how to make what I'm sure are very basic adjustments and changeovers and so forth ; I learn best by watching someone do it, and then doing it with that person looking over my shoulder. Tool is great, but I'm not getting good with it because I simply don't know how to set it up. And please don't say, "You just need to ..." - that does nothing but make me feel more stupid than I already am! Geoff - 480-980-4057. Thanks!

Phoenix
The 480 area code encompasses Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Tempe (except for a small portion west and south of the I-10 Broadway Curve, which stayed in 602), Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, Apache Junction, as well as far northeast Phoenix and the Phoenix neighborhood of Ahwatukee, and newer ...

I would think someone with 520 experience would fit this need almost as well, assuming its taking place at the OP's shop. Double Tilt and PowerPro are highly intuitive for an experienced SS user.
While that sounds like a large area the OP narrowed the area down in his post.
